Great result from INTO Manchester! Strike action and well attended pickets led to the employer coming back to the take with an improved offer, double the original. Smashing work from the reps, members and Regional organizers 💪🏼

Posters have appeared around the building. They suggest that geography, geology, & environment staff might be a bit angry at proposed redundancies, reorganisations & closures. Rightly so.

Feels like a good time to remind people: pensions are deferred wages. Moving someone forcibly to a worse pension is wage theft. Always unjustifiable, but particularly appalling in the context of years and years of real-terms pay cuts. Why do they NEVER have any solution other than paying us less?

COSIGN THIS PETITION!
Yes, there are a lot of petitions out there. But they’re also a reminder how much none of these fights are fought alone. The theft of pay/pension is rife in #UKHE.

This is abhorrent.
Shoddy stuff from @sheffielduni.bsky.social management in the @sheffielducu.bsky.social dispute over compulsory redundancies, threatening to walk away from all negotiations if members don't sign away their right to strike until November next year. #StandUpToBullies #DignityAtWork

Posted this 3 years ago. Extremely disappointing to see the employers are still at it. Shameful cuts and redundancies, pay erosion and casualisation of the academic workforce. Get your votes in!

UNISON members across three transport employers have rejected a below-inflation pay offer of just 3.2% – and are taking strike action.
These workers keep transport services running every day. They deserve fair pay, not real-terms cuts.

Three branches, one message: UNISON rejects below-inflation pay offer - UNISON National
The offer was made five months after unions submitted a pay claim and three months after the pay rise was due
